Play Guitar

I originally started this as thoughts on triathlon training but that is starting to get boring and tedious to read so I am now adding some other random thoughts. About a year ago, my wife was buying my 10-year old daughter Gia a guitar to start her lessons. I thought it may be fun to learn something with my daughter. Our schedules are not that compatible, she is much busier that I am, so I started lessons at about the same time at the Old Town School of Folk Music. This summer, the school offered a kid/parent class which we are really enjoying. I never had any desire or intention to learn guitar but I am thoroughly enjoying the experience and certainly appreciate music much more, especially the Beetles and Grateful Dead who I never had any use for prior to this. Surprisingly, it's also a great stress reliever and very fun. I am finding that the activities I enjoy most are ones where I learn or improve at something. Right now they are triathlon, skiing and occasionally golf or guitar. Like any other hobby, especially one you pick up later in life, you have to dedicate a fair amount of time to improve. I am giving it six months to see if it makes the cut.
